Answer to Question 1

Obese individuals experience chronic, low levels of inflammation in their tissues. Though asymptomatic, inflammation can cause the cells of the muscles and liver to resist the action of insulin. When cells don't respond to insulin, they do not take up glucose and it stays in the blood. Studies also suggest that the body's appetite control system may be influenced by insulin resistance, causing the person to overeat. The body can still digest and absorb excess fat, which can be stored. Fat tissue may also release hormones that trigger inflammation and insulin resistance, which can lead to type 2 diabetes.
